Children are among the most vulnerable parties in the legal system and often lack legal counsel, especially in an immigration context. On behalf of client Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) and as part of their work at the Center for Immigrants' Rights, Penn State Law students (now attorneys) Nick Quesenberry, 2011 graduate, and Tayler Summers, 2012 graduate, helped create training materials on U and T Visas. Their contribution became part of a recently finalized training manual for pro bono attorneys who take on cases through KIND.

Advocates and attorneys who work with victims of domestic violence need to understand the dynamics of power and control and how they affect the safety of their clients. This understanding is especially important in working with noncitizen victims who often face additional hurdles compared to American citizens. The Center for Immigrants' Rights has published "Immigration Relief for Victims of Domestic Violence and Abuse," a toolkit to help practitioners in representing immigrant victims of domestic abuse.

The impact of a federal government program that targeted noncitizens from mostly Muslim majority countries is documented in a new report titled "The NSEERS Effect: A Decade of Racial Profiling, Fear, and Secrecy" developed by the Penn State Law Center for Immigrants' Rights on behalf of the Rights Working Group. The report follows earlier work by the center on the "end" of the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) as announced by the Department of Homeland Security last April.

Immigration Law expert Victor Romero, a Penn State Law professor, shares his perspectives on the Arizona Immigration Law argued at the Supreme Court on April 25. He sees a potential outcome where the Court may decide to uphold portions of the law and strike down other sections. He also predicts law graduates interested in practicing immigration law will need to be aware not only of federal laws and statutes but of state laws as well.

Penn State Law students Rachel Keung and Daniel DeCurtis traveled the distance to the Clinton County correctional facility from their office at the Law School's Center for Immigrants' Rights in less than an hour. But representing their client, the American Bar Association's (ABA) Commission on Immigration, required entering the complex world of immigrant detention which was "quite a journey," said Keung, who had never been in a prison before.
